Hello, Freebsd-fs. Is growfs(8) safe now? I remember, there were some problems with non-zeroed data, but it seems to be fixed. But it HAS one bug for sure: "int p_size," which overflows on big FSes. It is in sectors, and 32 bit signed, so max value is only slightly less than 1Tb (!) I've fixed it (PR will be a bit later), but I'm not sure, is it only bug in such important utility? Does somebody use it? Or everybody migrate to ZFS already? --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
